After about two hours, shortly before 2:00 p.m., the head of the Executive arrived in Alba Iulia, for the military parade, from 1 Decembrie 1918 Boulevard, where over 1,000 soldiers were present.
In order to arrive on time, the prime minister did not go by car – the distance between the two cities is covered in almost five hours.
